I'm going wheeling in Ireland!

Hey guys thought I would rub it in that I am jumping on the Ferry out of Wales the 2nd week in June. Going to spend a week in Wales and 4 days in Ireland. Best part of it is it only cost me $200 to take the Ferry. Cant wait. I'll be sure and get plenty of pics!

Take your own wrenches though....

You know what you call an Irishman underneath a wheelbarrow?

Maybe next time. I've been to your peninsula twice before but I imagine it would be a problem taking the 4Runner through the tunnel. It probably won't fit in Le Shuttle.
But I have a 3 week holiday coming up in 5 weeks and if my supraswap is finished in time I can maybe put my steering wheel on the oposite side and come visit?
Or just lift it like my previous Hilux and drive thru the channel.
That reminds me. I have to get a snorkel set soon.

You are a lucky guy, Joey. I went to Ireland a few years ago and it was the best time ever. Everything about it was great....the people, scenery, food, music, and the pubs! You won't want to leave. Have fun and drink a pint for me. Watch out for the sheep in the road and you'll notice they all have spray paint on them. It took us a while to figure out why. Amazing place but really hard to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Yeah Mike take plenty of pics of your runner in foreign places, I regret not doing so myself. While I was sttioned in Holland I had my runner everywhere from Amsterdam to Paris to Berlin to Switzerland and Austria. Pretty much all I have to show for it is this pic of a ski trip in switzerland (dang would you look at those little 225's!):
